Talking about death & living

When an old friend died, regret came first. Then a reminder of how to live with death in mind.

Even the wisest people can find that their beliefs stop just short of death.

After my dog Bonnie died, I found real value in looking at death, literally.

How to make a bucket list that reflects what really matters to you, and why to start with what you've already done.

So my friend did something which I suspect may be a little too uncommon. He answered the question.

I spoke to a woman whose husband had just died. She said that no-one had told her what it might be like to watch him die.

Is it morbid to talk about death? Or is avoiding it the real problem?
